Exploring investments on Smart Investor

You have the choice of thousands of investments to help you achieve your financial goals. Once you’ve opened one of our accounts, we offer you various ways to explore and find the right investments for you.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise; you may not get back what you invest. If you’re not sure about investing, seek independent advice. Before transferring your investments, find out about any charges, exit penalties, benefits you may lose or investments that you can’t transfer to us.

Most Popular

Here, you’ll find a list of the most popular funds, shares, ETFs, and investment trusts as chosen by our investors, and the top fund picks depending on the type of account – whether an ISA, or SIPP. The details of our most popular funds are updated monthly.
